Attention Floridians: Prince Harry is Headed Your Way

It's official. Prince Harry is making his way back to us. Well, to the U.S. (which technically reads as us, right?) at least.

The royal recently announced that he'll be bringing his Invictus Games (paralympic-style games in which wounded servicemen and -women compete for the title in nine different sporting events) to Orlando, Florida come May 2016, People.com reports.

So you can mark your calendars with the specifics and book your plane tickets now, next year's competition will take place from May 8-12 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

After a successful inaugural year for the games, having taken place in September 2014 in London with over 400 participants from over a dozen different countries, Prince Harry is happy to see the competition expanding and inspiring in different parts of the world.

"I wanted other cities to look at the competition — what it meant to those taking part and those who saw it — and take up the challenge for the next Invictus Games," the prince noted. "I am absolutely delighted that the United States has taken up that challenge and will host the next Invictus Games in 2016."

Working with wounded servicemen and -women is something the royal has taken on with gusto. In addition to starting the Games, Prince Harry recently acquired a position at the Ministry of Defense, helping servicemen and -women find work and make their way back to previously held jobs.

"For every competitor last September, there are hundreds of others around the world who would benefit from having the same opportunity," said Prince Harry. "I have no doubt that the USA will set the bar even higher than London did and put on a great show."
